Jakarta - Lima nasabah BCA Kuta melapor polisi karena tabungannya berkurang meski mereka tidak melakukan penarikan. BCA mengindikasikan, pencurian itu terjadi karena PIN mereka diintip orang jahat.
"Diindikasikan bahwa telah terjadi pengintipan PIN oleh pihak yang tidak berhak, pada saat nasabah bertransaksi di ATMC BCA di Bali beberapa waktu lalu," demikian rilis BCA padadetikcom, Rabu (20/1/2010).
Saya yang tinggal di Kuta kaget dan langsung memeriksa saldo lewat ebanking BCA buat memastikan tidak menjadi korban hal yang sama. Ternyata saldo masi utuh. Lega...
Nah, siang ini, pas baca-baca berita di recomended itemnya google reader, ada berita yang mengulas tentang pencurian data kartu ATM ini. Dapat dari krebsonsecurity:
Pictured below is what’s known as a skimmer, or a device made to be affixed to the mouth of an ATM and secretly swipe credit and debit card information when bank customers slip their cards into the machines to pull out money. Skimmers have been around for years, of course, but thieves are constantly improving them, and the device pictured below is a perfect example of that evolution.This particular skimmer was found Dec. 6, 2009, attached to the front of a Citibank ATM in Woodland Hills, Calif. Would you have been able to spot this?
This is fairly professional job: Notice how the bulk of the electronics fit into the flap below the card acceptance slot. Also, check out the tiny pinhole camera (pictured below), ostensibly designed to switch on and record the victim’s movements as he or she enters their PIN at the ATM.
Wow! Susah banget mendeteksinya! Mulai sekarang kalau mau mengambil duit dari ATM, moncong mulut kartunya harus digoyang-goyang dulu sepertinya :P
